What England asks of a business online
Some homework for Cheriton businesses before the website goes live:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing

Cheriton website questions, answered
Is a website worth it in a place of 358 people?
Your market is bigger than Cheriton. People across Winchester look up services online, and a clear website brings them to you.
Do I need professional photos?
Real photos taken with a good phone often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Am I tied in for a year?
There is no setup fee and no minimum term: you pay £69 a month and can stop whenever you need to.
Can the website be an online shop?
Yes. Tick the online shop option when you sign up and you get catalogue, basket and online payment at the same monthly fee.
My customers come from New Alresford and Kings Worthy as well. Can I say so?
Of course. Email us the places you serve (for example New Alresford, Kings Worthy and Winchester) and they go on a service area page.
What about my domain name?
If you have one, keep it: we point it to the website. If not, say so in the sign-up and we sort out the options with you by email.
Do we need to meet?
It all happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before anything is published.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
